Btw, I suppose that Rossing is in Germany?

My apologies. Yes it is, in Lower Saxony south of Hanover. It's listed correctly in the scenario description of the game file but I omitted that in the post.

A few observations and suggestions.

Many Brits are in positions with limited visibility making a "kill box" impossible.

At least one VF not placed on map

Smoke fires are late often behind advance of Russian armor.

Mine clear tanks appear after MBTs on the Russian side.

Russian scout co attacked in open field without follow up forces. The scouts were attacking not scouting.

Insufficient ATGMs given the mission

Insufficient FA guns lacking range to perform counter battery fires and without lethality to slow or fix Russian armor.

I would consider making the defense in depth. At least three lines of defence entrenched in fighting positions with ATGM teams, vehicle mounted ATGMs, then tanks and inf-ATMs.

Additionally, mines ought to be laid to deny territory so as to drive Russians into "kill zones."

Please consider placing VF concentrated within one locality rather than scatterd over the map, or at least place highest value of VFs behind the defensive line.

I hope not to sound as a sour grape, just because I got "my hat handed to me," however, I offer these suggestions because you've authored many very good scenarios.

No sour grapes at all mate! I agree with your suggestions. This scenario was based on the engagement in the series of books The Black Effect, etc. My first observations of the book's description were similar to yours in how the British forces were deployed in what was an impossible mission. But, I'm sure it would have been much the same if the war would have gone hot.

My real world has gone from busy to frantic of late and it's taking away my leisure time with the game (and royally pi***ng me off in the process). But I'll put some thought into a more play balanced effort.

I truly appreciate the feedback!

Cheers.
